In what ways does using the sociological perspective make us seem less in comtrol of your lives and does it give us greater power over your surroundings?

A sociological perspective makes you aware of the many social forces that act upon you. It makes you feel less isolated and more exposed to social variables that you can't control. The dark side of existentialism (suicides) are sometimes used as an example of the anxieties lived by an individual and his vulnerabilities and limited role in society.

A sociological perspective doesn't have to give you a negative view of your place in society necessarily and instead you may focus on changing society on a positive way even in limited way. Or you may develop leadership qualities that help you affect change in a larger way.

Finally, a sociological perspective doesn't make you a biologist with darwinistic objectivity. You may retain your individuality and subjectivity the same way that a scientist has religion and even support minority theories like Creationism.
